Awake at the WheelWhat You Can Learn About Innovation from a Neanderthal

These days you've probably had your fill of stories about Google, Apple, Southwest Airlines, and Dell — the so-called golden boys of innovation. Stories about them are everywhere. Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Inc, Fast Company, Forbes, and every blogger looking for a few more fans are waxing poetic about the wisdom of these innovation-savvy organizations.

I'd like to put a stop to this madness.

Not because the stories are untrue. And not because the stories are uninspiring. But because the stories don't always translate to your business, your industry, and your workforce.

It's time for a new story that everyone can relate to — and that new story is the story told by Mitch Ditkoff in Awake at the Wheel, his award winning business parable about the invention of the wheel by the world's first innovator, Og the Neanderthal.

What Og had to go through to get his idea out of his head and into the world is the same journey we all have to go through — the journey from idea to execution.

“A superb catalyst for anyone with the urge to bring their best ideas into reality”Tim Gallwey

Team Innovation
Innovation is a team sport. Brilliant ideas go nowhere unless your people are aligned, collaborative, and team-oriented. That doesn't happen automatically, however. It takes intention, clarity, selflessness, and a new way of operating.
